A welcoming faith community
in West Seattle since 1899.

Welcome to Admiral UCC Church!

      We are a neighborhood faith community located in the Admiral District at the northern tip of West Seattle.  As part of the United Church of Christ we welcome and invite you to join us in discovering how God is present and active in our lives.  As individuals, members of a local congregation, and part of the wider church we engage in ministries that have a positive impact close to home and across the globe.






Sharing Our Share
West Seattle



The Idea: Contribute 10 percent of each Economic Stimulus Payment to make a positive and significant difference in people’s lives.


The Plan: Nine churches in West Seattle will collect Sharing Our Share contributions on a weekly basis through July. Those collections will be pooled together and 100 percent of the proceeds will be divided equally among six non-profit organizations in the local community.  Funds will be distributed periodically, with charitable receipts sent to contributors who are not already receiving church giving statements.


The Effect: Given that these contributions come from a tax-free payment from the IRS, they should be relatively painless. They will stimulate the economy, and, most importantly, give a boost to the people and organizations stretched the most by trying times. And if Sharing Our Share can stimulate similar actions in other communities and groups, so much the better.
